From a Page-A-Day calendar I have:

Many have died in many ways in this world. It's good for us to pause and remember that we, too, are part of a long succession of individuals who will come and go. There's relief in that knowing.

My Summer...in Pictures!

I was a bridesmaid in the wedding of my friends Lynda & Jeff.

I met one of my newest cousins, Liam.

I welcomed a new member to my household in July.  

His name is Sam and he's a Siamese Fighting Fish.

I bought a bike in July.  

In September I took a class to learn how to ride on busy city streets properly.

In August I took a trip to Mayne Island with Dave, Marcia and Robert.  We went on a hike, saw seals, jellyfish and purple starfish, and spent much time relaxing.

In late August I flew home to see my cousin Lee-Ann get married to Jay.

All in all it's been a great summer!
